The Pokémon Presents on July 22, 2025, had quite a few announcements, though nearly all of them were targeted to the franchise’s mobile titles.
To kick things off, the special art for the 2025 Pokémon World Championships in Anaheim, along with information on exclusive rewards and online giveaways for the events. Next was the reveal of the upcoming Season 2 for Pokémon Concierge, the Netflix stop-motion animated series. This will be released on September 4.
Another stop-motion animated series was teased, this time told from the perspective of Pokémon themselves. The series, Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu, will be coming in 2027.
PokéPark Kanto was shown off next, the Pokémon theme park that’s opening in Tokyo, specifically in Yomiuriland Amusement Park. The permanent park will have both city and forest landscapes that show off how Pokémon live in different areas. PokéPark Kanto is set to open in early 2026, and ticket sales will open later this year.
Pokémon Go news was next, discussing the Pokémon Go Fest 2025: Max Finale, which will include Eternatus. This is set to be the largest Pokémon Go fest yet, and it’ll be availble on mobile devices.
On the theme of mobile games, Pokémon Masters EX was teased briefly, showing off Carmine and Sinistcha. Pokémon Masters EX is available on mobile devices.
Pokémon Café Remix wasn’t left out of mobile announcements, and new sea-themed outfits and decor are available now, along with a free Jigglypuff. A pirate-themed Lapras will be coming, as well. Pokémon Café Remix is available on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.
Pokémon Sleep was up next, and the mobile game will introduce Suicune, Raikou, and Entei in September. Additionally, in November, a new location called Amber Canyon will be added. Pokémon Sleep is available on mobile devices.
Pokémon Unite was also featured, and it will bring Latios and Latias into the game on July 18 and August 8, respectively, as the game enters its fourth year. The two work as a duo who can fly to each other mid-battle. Pawmi was also teased to be an upcoming character. Pokémon Unite is available on mobile devices and Nintendo Switch.
More news on the Pokémon TCG was shared as well, including a look at several of the new full-art cards in the upcoming Mega Evolution set.
Last but not least is Pokémon Friends, a new mobile and Switch title that focuses on solving puzzles to get plushies and decor to decorate in-game rooms with. It’s available on iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch now.
From there, news on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet came. The games have received a free update for the Nintendo Switch 2, bringing a smoother and better-looking experience.
Additionally, the generation is also getting a new Tera Raid battle event series, starting tomorrow. This will feature Wo-Chien (July 23 to August 3), Chien-Pai (August 4 to August 17), Ting-Lu (August 18 to August 31), and Chi-Yu (September 1 to September 14), all of whom will be shiny. Players will need to win the battles and catch them, a feat that will already be tough. However, they won’t be able to add them to their teams until the global community has defeated the raids one million times.
Players also got news about Pokémon Champions, the upcoming mobile and Switch game that focuses on battling that was announced earlier this year. Players will be able to recruit Pokémon from within the game using in-game currency, or they can use Pokémon from their Pokémon Home. There will be Ranked Battles, Private Battles, and Double Battles to enjoy.
When it comes to training, players will be able to put stats where they’d like. This also gives players a sort of learning method for raising and training Pokémon in other games, as their natures were teased in the trailer as well. Pokémon Champions is set to release in 2026.
Of course, Pokémon Legends: Z-A was also featured. The new deep dive showed off the game’s fashion system (a big part of Lumiose City), which will be more in-depth than ever for both trainers and Furfrou styles.
When starting Pokémon Legends: Z-A, players are brought onto Team MZ. There, players will meet several characters, including Naveen and Lida. We also met Corbeau, who looks like an antagonist to Team MZ. Along the way, players will also meet Detective Emma and a researcher named Mable, both of whom offer jobs to the player.
Fans also learned a bit about the upcoming game’s story. Wild Pokémon have started Mega Evolving on their own, a phenomenon called Rogue Mega Evolution. To help take these Pokémon on, players will need a teammate from Team MZ on their side. New Mega Evolved forms were also shown off, including Mega forms for Dragonite, Tyranitar, Lopunny, Mawile, and more.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be released on October 16, 2025, on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
